No one ever doubted his ability to score:

Eddy Positives

Positives
-Great hands and touch around the basket
-Very strong on the low block
-Can score from either side of the block and gets great position, very effective hook shot
-Draws double teams and can get opposing players into foul trouble

Negatives
Rebounding and defense are two things that take effort.
-Eddy is up to 7rbs this year, however his career averages are in the 5's which is terrible Why bring up career averages, this is his breakout season, the bar has been set, going forward now everyone expects 7reb per game. We want more.
-Against the Heat he tried for three quarters and had 10rbs, thats why its frustrating Odd, I see it he tried for 3 quarters and got 3 more than his avg, all while carrying the team for 3 qtrs with 28 points and battling shaq and Zo who were both playing physical
-He doesn't try on defense, doesn't rotate, doesn't body his man, can be bodied by strong players and struggles against stronger playersDon't disagree here, I don't think he gets bullied by bigger players, he is pretty big himself. The defensive smarts is not there yet.
-25 pounds to heavy, and doesn't take condition seriously, major problem going foward especially as he ages. I really don't see his weight as an issue now, he is playing the minutes, he is not getting winded, he is looking good and not creating the crap fouls like last year when he was tired. This is the size he is most effective at and meant to be. Everyone can't be skinny like Bosh or super built like Howard. Genetics.

You can believe what you want, but players don't bash players, and coaches don't usually say bad things about other teams, the team was a disgrace last year and quit on the coach that was trying to teach them about rebounding, defense and sharing the ball. They won 23 games, I think you would say anything would be a positive move in the right direction at this point..

Positives for the Season
-Curry's offensive progression, fg%
-David Lee's rebounding and energy, fg%
-Starting to protect home court
-Good team unity, marbury after the first quarter of the season realized he was being run out of town has started to play team ball


Negatives
-no defensive presence, no shot blocker, no one challenging shots, terrible on rotations, our guards get torched by quicker guards, our turnovers are out of control, we lead the league in technicals, no consistent outside shooting
-channing frye looks like a fringe rotation player
-crawford playing less under control
-marbury and q are breaking down
-curry refusing to play defense, and rebound in most cases
-Our coach playing players because of salary or draft order
-Jefferies, James, Francis

As currently constructed we need curry to be a superstar because we don't have room to make major improvements.

You seriously don't think he needs to lose weight, comeon. Its not about being super skinny he would still be big, i want him where he was his last season with the bulls, which was about 25 pounds lighter.....

Everyone in the league seems to recognize the job the improvement the team is displaying. All of the opposing coaches, players seem to acknowledge that Eddy and the Knicks are headed in the right direction. Everyone knows what Eddie must do, Eddie knows what he must do. It's like Clyde says if Eddy can move himself into the 20+ and 10 reb group, its hall of fame numbers. He can do that especially at his age. I find it funny how many here discredit his ability to score the basketball, his ability to change the game, draw double teams; like any one can do that. The fact is, not many can do it, and the few that can are no where near Curry's size and strength. The problem I have with many bashing Curry, is you bashed him since he got here and the season where he finally gives us something that we hoped for and shows great progress, you nit pick and say well he is garbage because he doesnt rebound. You make it sound like he cant improve in the different areas of the game. Honestly at his age, the sky is the limit for him, you put the right people around him and we have a good chance. Can he win it by himself ? No, but then again how many people could win it by them selves. With the exception of the Pistons team, everyone else had a 1, 2 punch when it came to all stars.

Totally agree with you here. People keep knocking Curry for not being a so-called franchise player who you can;t build around. But you can definitely build with Curry. Put the right pieces around Curry and you can definitely compete for a chip. As I've said before, put Curry on that bulls team right now, and they are pick-em with the Pistons to get to the finals.

Isiah has been Larryesque….
1. We have used a million different lineups
2. The team gives up more than they score
3. They lead the league in technical fouls and turnovers
4. He lets his terrible moves as a GM effect his coaching. (Balkman is twice the player JJ is already but is relegated to the bench because Isiah is a ****ing idiot)
5. His matchups and player combinations leave something to be desired.

You can't win without a big or a point guard.

What difference has Eddy Curry made,
